Armed robbery in apartment building
A brute robbed a woman inside her Clinton Avenue apartment building on Nov. 4.
Police said the creep followed the victim into the building near DeKalb Avenue at around 8:30am. Inside, he pulled a black handgun and told the woman to be quiet or he would kill her, then led her to a room on the second floor. Inside, he pulled off her wedding and engagement rings and stole her iPhone and $100 in cash.
The perpetrator told the woman not to leave the room for 20 minutes and made a hasty exit. The victim quickly went up to her apartment and called the police. Emergency responders brought her to Brooklyn Methodist hospital for a check-up, but she was not injured during the incident.

Cops drove the victim around in search of the thief, but they could not find him.
